This was only available in select stores on Record Store Day 2015. It was announced as a limited edition of 1,000 copies, but given the fact that it was widely available in both the US and the UK, and exists in two versions (Island or Glassnote barcode), I'm assuming that there were 1,000 copies available in the US and 1,000 in the UK. Both editions were announced as being hand numbered, but so far no numbered copies have shown up.

The US pressing exists with labels reversed. It is unknown how many mislabeled copies exist. I have one.

This release was quite the disappointment. It appeared in the webstore after Wilder Mind was announced with the artwork shown to the left. This made many people assume that it would be a new 7" release with that particular artwork, to be released on 18-May. It turns out that this was nothing more than an overstock 7" from Babel: The Singles Collection. It was delivered around 30-April/01-May and didn't have any accompanying artwork and was housed in the same plastic protection sleeve as the individual singles in Babel: The singles Collection. Quite misleading.

The scans below are from my original copy from Babel: The Singles Collection. I had the "new" single on order, but on 30-April I got a note saying that my order had been cancelled. Other fans who placed their order earlier than I received the overstock single.

This was only available in select stores on Record Store Day 2016. It was not announced how many copies were available in the UK, but the range of numbers that I've seen for sale suggest that there were 2,000 numbered copies available in the UK and Europe.

This was only available in select stores on Record Store Day 2016. It was not announced how many copies were available in the USA, but given the fact that is was announced as 6,000 copies and there were 2,000 numbered copies available in the UK and Europe, it is likely that there were 4,000 copies available in the USA. For some reason the Glassnote copies are not numbered.

This is an unofficial release. The first copies on transparent gold vinyl appeared in March-2013. Later on in 2013 copies on dark green vinyl also appeared. In 2014 a third variation on black vinyl showed up.

This is advertised as a Revolutionary STS+HD Comprehensive Stereo Sound Album. I have no idea what that's supposed to be. The overall appearance of the packaging and the lack of proper copyright info make it very likely that it is an unofficial release.

Part 4 was available on www.mumfordandsons.com/GOTR from 15-December-2010.

In the mean time Part 5 and Part 6 have been made available.

Note the SIGN NO MORE instead of SIGH NO MORE on the Sigh No More CD pocket. It seems to be an error that affects the whole print run. This error is not present on the UK digipak pressing and the US pressing.

MUMFORD & SONS - SISTER (NEW VERSION)

01 Sister (New Version) 3:28

1 track, 3:28

"If not for fine fortune and a little endeavour, we Sons may well have found ourselves travelling very different roads: were it not for the various interventions of higher hands and trusted guides we could've been bad guys - the very worst, each of us contemptible, criticised and cursed; an ailing mob masterminded by a failing Fat Sam... All this could definitely have happened... It feels as though it may actually have, in another time and another place, and I think Dexter Fletcher was there... Odd.

Or teachers. We could have been teachers! So noble the educator. Imagine a crisp September morning, first period, English language - 'The cliché'. And there could surely be no finer example to inscribe upon the blackboard than, 'The best things in life are free...'.

How fitting then, that we are giving away a hyper-modern Mp3 of a re-recorded 'Sister' absolutely free via our new website! Okay, it may not be the best thing in your life, but it is free, so, you know, close enough"

This is a bit of a strange release. The story is that someone was asked to clear out a studio basement, and found a box of these. An unknown numbers of CDs from this box found their way into the hands of Mumford collectors (including me). This is the only known source for this CDr. It is possible that this is a projected commercial Chess Club release that was scratched before it was put out, but it all remains quite speculative.

This is a bit of a riddle. The only difference with the other MumfordCD02 promo is that this has a white disc with copyright info. Wondering whether the numbered series consists of blue disc and white disc varieties, or that the white disc variety is a new series. This is the only white disc copy I've ever seen.

This rare version has To Darkness / Kripa split into two tracks. This is also listed on the artwork.

The disc and the spine list GLS-0114-02 as catalogue number, but the back cover has GLS-0114-10, which is the original catalogue number of the vinyl.

I have two different versions for this. The cardboard sleeves are identical. Only the discs themselves are different. The top one is the European pressing with MumfordCD1CP in the matrix. The bottom one is the UK pressing with MumfordCD01 in the matrix, but on the face of the disc the European catalogue number MumfordCD1CP is given. The only differences that are visible on the scans is that for the EU pressing the transparent ring around the centre is slightly smaller than for the UK pressing and the blue on the EU pressing is a little bit brighter.

There are two versions of this promo. The discs have the same printing, but the insert is different. One of them lists 19 tracks and the other one 18 tracks. Since both discs mention 18 tracks, I assume that both only have 18 tracks. I don't have either version, so I'm looking for both.
